Upstream, this software supports Python 3. Please provide a Python 3 package for Fedora. According to the Python packaging guidelines [0], software must be packaged for Python 3 if upstream supports it. The guidelines give detailed information on how to do this, and even provide an example spec file [1]. The current best practice is to provide subpackages for the two Python versions (called "Common SRPM" in the guidelines). Alternatively, if nothing depends on your Python2 package, you can just switch to Python 3 entirely. It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well. If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance with the porting, you can ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here. We'll be happy to help!

Hello Justin, Do you need any help adding Python 3 support to the RPM? If you need more instructions, a [guide] for porting Python-based RPMs is available. [guide] http://python-rpm-porting.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html
Created attachment 1173729 [details] specfile patch Hello. I am providing patch for package specfile with new upstream version and support for python2/3 subpackages. Could you please review it and do the update? I am not sure but it seems that patch mentioned in specfile wasn't used so I've removed it. Koji scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14699135 Thank you and have a nice day. Lumir

Justin, do you mind if I push this? If you don't reply in a week, I assume it's OK.
